DCLG Salary Transparency

The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has sought consent from individuals to publish the names and salaries of those staff earning a full-time salary over £60,000 (the Senior Civil Service minimum as at 31 March 2014). The Department recently published an updated Local Government Transparency Code 2014 which covers local authorities in England.

On the 31st March 2014, 151 Department staff were earning a full-time salary of £60,000 or higher. Please note that though all of these 151 staff have a full time salary of £60,000 or higher, some of these staff work part time and the salary they receive is adjusted accordingly. The figures quoted here all refer to the full time salaries of individuals, regardless of whether they work full time or not.

The breakdown of these staff in salary bands by DCLG Group is as follows:
